HE RESIGNS.

II I) smocrat ic District Chairman Throws lTp Hi.s Job In a Hull'.

Democratic district chairman Morris has resigned and his resignation causes no surprise. It has been known for some time that there was trouble in camp and it has been reported that a number of influential Democrats in tho district signed a round-robin asking Mr. Cheadle to retire from the congressional race. This action is alleged to have angered Morris bayond measure and to have greatly influenced him in the matter of his resignation. Ho has had quarrels with several of the chairmen and party leaders, who have charged that he was sacrificing other interests for Cheadle. The Frankfort CrcscmU, the Democratic organ of Clinton county, makes the following comment on the case: "Willard H. Morris, of this city, haB tendered his resignation to state chairman Parks M. Martin as a member of the state committee from the ninth district. He asks an immediate acceptance of his resignation, which was forwarded to Mr. Martin by mail Thursday. Mr. Morris states that he cculd not give the position the active attention and time it demands, and for the benefit of the party thought it best to resign. His relations with Chairman Parks Martin and other members of the committee were always cordial."

The above is all very pretty, but the Crescent forbears entering into a discussion regarding the relations of Mr. Morris with the brethren in the ninth district.

A NERVY KID.

Having Acknowledged the Theft of F. P. Blount's Wheel He Asks That He Be Paid a Reward for

Its Recovery.

At 1 o'clock last Friday Mac Stilwell saw a small boy ride up to the bicycle pump at Voris & Cox's store to blow up the tires of the wheel he was riding. The wheel Mr. Stilwell at once recognized as that which was stolen from the porch of F. P. Mount oa last Sunday night. He walked over and asked the boy where be had gotten hold of it. The lad, who is the fifteen-year-old son of a respectable citizen, replied that ho had traded another wheel for it about two weeks ago to a chap from Ohio. He then mounted and rode west on Main street. Mr. Stilwell lost no time in notifying Mr. Mount, and Mr. Mount and Officer Brothers proceeded to the Mills school building where the boy attends. The wheel was found sitting up in the corridor along with several others and Mr. Mount immediately identified it. The plate and number had been removed and the cross bars were wrapped with tape. The boy was called out' from his rojm and at first put up his trade story but soon shifted from this and told another. Finally when pinned down be acknowledged that he had stolen it from Mr. Mount's porch on Sunday night about 11 o'clock. He had often observed while cutting grass in Whitlock Place that the wheel was left on the porch over night and finally made up his mind to nip it. He did BO and at once began to ride it about

in a ht

pains were spared

towD.

The wonder is that he was not caught bofore as there are very few wheels 6f the pattern in the city. As Mr. Mount and Marohal Brothers were leaving the boy made a cheeky request. He said that he understood that there was a reward of 810 offered for the recovery of the wheel and be thought he was entitled to it Mr. Mount couldn't beo it that way, however, and the request was turned down hard. It is not likely that the cise will be prosecuted, the matter being left entirely with tho wishes of the boy's father.

At Ladoga.

The Crawfordsville Masons who visited tho Ladoga lodge last week report a fine

time.

Tbey were

treated

manner and no

by

the Ladoga lodge

to make the occasion the enjoyable one it was. Besides the large delegation from Crawfordsville, the lodges of Darlington, Waveland, lloachdaie, and Jamestown were well represented. In tho afternoon the work in the third degree was performed by the Darlington lodg^ while in the eveniflp the Crawfordsville team gave the degree.

j" Not Guilty.

Mayor Elmore last Monday rendered a decision in the case of attorney Charles Burton, who was arrested on a charge of attempting to provoke Jos. Galey while delivering an argument in the trial of a cause in Justice Buck's court. The maysr found Mr. Burton not guilty. It was considered a dangerous precedent to fine an attorney for reflecting on the testimony of a witness.

'GENERAL INEXPERIENCE.'

Coiigross is ag Much to Hhuuo I'or So mo Thingn as Secretary Alger.

W. E. Curtis in Chicago

Rccord:

"In

his interview at Cincinnati yesterday Secretary Alger explained the whole trouble when he said it was duo to general inexpsrionce. "Congre&s, however, is just as much to blame as Secretary Al^er. Elis office was crowded from morning till night with senators and members of the house, and he spent four-liftlis of his time listening to their importunities in bahalf of constituents who krp"*r nothing whatever about military affairs, out werd willing to assume all the responsibility. There were several hundred officers of experience on the retired list, who had been trained to the 6ervica, and were anxious to serve their country, but congress would not permit. A bill, which was introduced by Representative Hull, authorizing the secretary of war to utiliz3 the services of retired officers, was voted down in the committee oa military affairs by an overwhelming majority simply because its passage would diminish the patronage at the disposal of the President and make it impossible for congressmen to secure places for political favorites. "The passage of a special act was not necessary in the navy, because the law authorizes the President to call out officers on the retired list in time of war, and the services of hundreds of them were utilizad, particularly at the navy-yards and at supply stations. Few retired officers were on the fighting Bhips, but their experience and ability made them very valuable in looking after business on shore. If the secretary of war could have had similar power and utilized it, there would have been very much less complaint of mismanagement, and the soldiers would have been much better looked after than they have been by the incompetent and inexperienced civilians, who have no doubt done the best they could, but did not know how. I understand that Representative Griffin, of Eau Claire, Wis., who is an old Boldier, was the only member of the military committee, except Representative Hull, who voted in favor of the bill referred to:"—~—-*

Democratic Convention.

The Democrats of Union township held tbeir nominating convention last Saturday at the court house. There was a small attendance acd it was tar!/ ascertained that not enough men cculd be found to accept the nominations to fill out the requisite number of justices and constables. It was therefore decided to nominate but one candidate for justice and one for conn table. This was accordingly done and W. K. Wallace was chosen for justice and George Vancleave for .constable. As the township has a Republican majority of several hundred there is no possibility of election and the nominations were merely made to preserve the township organization. There are four justices and four constables to be elected in this township and the Republicans nominated a full ticket.

BATTERED UP.

Jim Nelson, a Masher, is Considerably Disfigured By Frank Gardner, Whose »Vife Nelson Hart Followed.

Last Thursday at 9 p. m. there was an exciting time in front of the Ornbaun block on Washington street. James Nelson came Btrolling along looking as fascinating as possible and when directly in front of the Ornbaun store he went againBt a snag. A. slightly built young fellow, Frank Gardner, stepped up to him and without a word let fly a fist which took Nelson squarely in the eye and knocked him off his feet. Gardner followed the blow up with others and before the bystanders could interfere Nelson had been Boundly threshed by a chap half his Biza. Gardner had done, his work thoroughly and Nelson's head bore astriking. resemblance to a blood Boaked sponge. It was' simply a bloody masB and hia clothes were covered with mud and blood. The police arrested Gardner and on Friday he was before the mayor on a charge of assault and battery. He pleaded guilty and was duly fined. He stated that he had punished Nelson because that worthy had persisted in following Mrs. Gardner about the streets and accosting her on every pots'ble occasion. He says he did the work with his bare fists, but if he did he has a fist like iron. The authorities and Nelson also are inclined to thiuk tho young man used brass knucks. The police state Nelson has the reputation of Btaring at women on the streets and most people are inclined to think that Gardner gaye him what he had coming'to him.

Mrs. Fulienweider already held a mortgage for $11,000 on the place and it is not as yet determined what will bo the future disposal of the building. It will certainly be improved for somt purport, next upriog, however Mrs. Robbins will leave Crawfordsville shortly and will make her future homo with ber niece, Mrs. Buckingham, of Danville, 111. John Robbins and wife will doubtless continue to make their home in this city.

PART SECOND

SIMPLY BLOOD SOAKED.

A Midnight. Assassin, Dripping With Ills Victim's (Jure, is Gathered lu l!.v the Police.

On Monday shortly after the solemn midnight hour the police were attracted by the Buspicious actions of a man who was ovidently attempting to Blink away into the darkness unnoticed. He was followed and was finally arrested just as he was slinking over the corporation lino. He was greatly agitated when caught and hia teeth chAttered apprehensively as he was dragged ruthlessly back toward the glaring electric lighte. On being landed in the jiil the man showed up in an ugly manner, and the police realized that they had made an important haul. His cuffs were found in his pocket and they were soaked in blood. His shirt front was drenched in the same awful fluid, as was his vest. In his pocket was found a stone as large as abase ball, and two razors. These were narrowly examined for blood stains and human hair, but none wer6 found, the murderer evidently having cleansed them after his terrible work. The fellow was securely locked up and the turnkey instructed to watch him closaly. Later in the dayMarshalBrothers was informed of the arrest and went to the jail to investigate the case. The cowering prisoner was brought out in the light of day and was plainly overcome when confronted by the officers. The blood stains were re-examined in day light and were clearly shown be red paint. The man gave his name as B. L. Bannon and stated that he had been engaged out in the country for several days painting a barn red. He had so stained his clothes. He had been in town on little errand of a private nature and fearing lest he might be attacked by foot pads as he went home he Blipped the stone in his pocket. He waa simply paralyzad with fear when arrested and could not have told a straight story to have saved his life. He was released and his captors have been setting the boys up all day long.

Worked Out.

The people living In the country were worked out in BtyleJaai week by a bold'and plausible female presumably from Orawfordsville. The woman drove from house to house represent* ing herself as a Mrs. Jones. She said she was representing the woman's charitable society of Waynetown and was aBking help for a Mrs. Morrison, a distressed widow of the same place. She was a smooth article, this tear-: ful Mrs. Jones, and the people appealed to thawed out in abundance. Some gave money and others loaded down her buggy with the choicest of provisions. The next day some of the victims were in Waynetown and there learned that Mrs, Morrison was a myth and that no such person as Mrs. Jones was known.

Death ot Charley Hays.

Charley Hays, aged forty six years, tbe well known colored boot black, died of consumption Sunday at the poor farm. His funeral occurred Monday.
